Wonder if Hamilton will feel there is a mole in his team?

This is getting ridiculous now! Does make you wonder.

Hamilton's stops are nearly always slower than Rosberg's too. I'm sure it got mentioned somewhere here, but the pit stop team is the same for both drivers?

I feel for Hamilton at the moment. He makes mistakes but the cock ups by his team at the moment are putting more pressure on him and making it more likely he will make mistakes. Fuel leak causes the car to catch fire and Rosberg gets chance to stick two fingers up again by saying he would prefer Lewis to be at the front, bollocks he would!

Lewis should jump ship, get in a Honda engined car for next year and get back to having a team behind him that he can trust 100%. Okay he might not win a world championship but at the moment hes being to look like a mug with the constant car related issues hes having.

Lewis also needs to spend more time with his brother and his dad, they are a calming influence on him and he seems to relax more when they are about.

There will be alot of crashes today, Lewis needs to just keep his cool and avoid the carnage. Finishing the race isnt set in stone today and him pushing too hard and hitting someone would be a disaster.

Watched the first fifteen laps on the on board camera for Lewis.......huge amounts of grip and cars taking the karting line/going too deep allowed him to make a good recovery.

Considering I had five beers during the race I was making pit stops faster than the race teams!

Stunning race. Both me and the mrs were nearly wetting ourselves by the last lap and she's not even a race fan (although she does appreciate Hamiltons earrings )

Very good race but i wonder what will happen about Lewis not letting Rosberg to move over. Personally i thought Rosberg wasn't getting close enough or putting enough pressure on him.
